Haibun: Snapdragon Moon

The early morning drizzle is full of promise. Scorched fields of grass and droopy gardens sigh with relief when the promise turns to rain. After a heatwave and hose-ban to preserve diminishing pools of water flowers raise their heads in gratitude, singing full of colour.

What a stunningly vibrant snapdragon, Xenia! The image is gorgeous and your haibun is too. 🙂 I;m glad you’ve been able to cool down with some drizzle and the snapdragon has had a drink. What a wonderful sound that sigh of relief must be when it comes!

Oh my Xenia. This is outstanding. the photo is gorgeous but the haibun and most of all, the haiku are spectacular. We are used to hot weather over here. The grass turns brown and the leaves wilt in the heat. But I am glad you and the pups had some rain to enjoy and hopefully cool things off. Hugs to all three of you.
